But to be fair, you have access to up to 16 retainers for no additional fee (assuming you want to do the legwork and/or pay for 3 months at a time).

The price for the standard edition for 180 days is the same as the per-month entry level (12.99 USD) This means you have up to 8 characters, each with retainers.

By the time you hit level 50, you can easily do 1-2 dungeons a week on that side character and trade the loot for venture tokens via GC; by 60 you can solo-speed run them. It takes less than a week casually to get a character here. You shouldn't ever need this many retainers, but the option is there.

To OP: The easiest thing to do is unlock fisher, get fisher to max level via Ocean Fishing and then just send them on daily 18 hour ventures to sell the allagan coins they get. That profit will easily pay for whatever you're having trouble finding in the wilds.
